1 Lieutenant Charles Jeffreys and the Kangaroo : Was He Totally Unfit for Command? Ian Dodd , 2024 single work biography
— Appears in: Journal of the Royal Australian Historical Society , vol. 110 no. 1 2024; (p. 9-28) 'Some aspects of the story of the Kangaroo commanded by Lieutenant Charles Jeffreys have been told by Reg C, Wright and J. C. H. Gill. The time from arrival in New South Wales to Jeffreys' death in Tasmania has been covered. However, events from Jeffreys' appointment as commander to sailing from England do not appear to be the subject of published research. Governor Lachlan Macquarie found both Jeffreys and the ship unsuitable for colonial work. Macquarie judged him inactive and negligent in his command, adding that he was 'a Vain, Conceited, Ignorant Young Man, and totally unfit for such Command'. Events in Australia seem to justify these harsh words. Further light is thrown on the character and competence of Jeffreys by events before sailing and closer examination of some aspects of the voyage to Sydney, allowing a more complete assessment as to whether Macquarie was right.'
